A Review: Cars

That's right, the cartoon.

Before I get into this, I have to admit a bias though. I love to drive. I'm sorry, that's not quite right. I love to drive. To me the automobile is the penultimate symbol of freedom. I don't follow NASCAR at all because my idea of a good time isn't watching someone else drive, but I envy Dale Earnhardt, because he got to make a living driving a car real fast, right to the very end.

So it's probably no surprise that I liked this movie, being about a race car and all. What surprised me is that after watching it ten times since Saturday (the Son and Heir likes it too :) ) I still get goosebumps when Doc takes off down that dirt track, and I still tear up a little at the end. I know I'm a little sappy that way, but not usually after the second or third viewing.

And in case anyone's wondering, it works. If you turn right hard enough, you'll find yourself going left.
